When Atom's author switched careers in late 2007 from logic designerdesign to [[Embedded_systems|embedded software]] engineering, Atom was redesign from an [[hardware description language|HDL]] to a [[___domain specific language]]

targeting [[Realtime_computing|hard realtime]] embedded applications. As a result, Atom's compiler's primary objective changed from maximizing rule concurrency to balancing processing load and minimizeminimizing

[[Worst_case_execution_time|worse case timing latency]]. In September 2008, Atom was presented at <ref>[http://cufp.galois.com/2008/schedule.html] Controlling Hybrid Vehicles with Haskell.</ref>,

and in April 2009, Atom was released in open-source in its new form.<ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/haskell-cafe/browse_thread/thread/2750aee843870ca1/37f32c528d733429?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=haskell+atom+0.0#37f32c528d733429]
